Woodpecker \Wood"peck`er\, n. (Zo[94]l.)
      Any one of numerous species of scansorial birds belonging to
      {Picus} and many allied genera of the family {Picid[91]}.
  
      Note: These birds have the tail feathers pointed and rigid at
               the tip to aid in climbing, and a strong chisellike
               bill with which they are able to drill holes in the
               bark and wood of trees in search of insect larv[91]
               upon which most of the species feed. A few species feed
               partly upon the sap of trees (see {Sap sucker}, under
               {Sap}), others spend a portion of their time on the
               ground in search of ants and other insects. The most
               common European species are the greater spotted
               woodpecker ({Dendrocopus major}), the lesser spotted
               woodpecker ({D. minor}), and the green woodpecker, or
               yaffle (see {Yaffle}). The best-known American species
               are the pileated woodpecker (see under {Pileated}), the
               ivory-billed woodpecker ({Campephilus principalis}),
               which is one of the largest known species, the
               red-headed woodpecker, or red-head ({Melanerpes
               erythrocephalus}), the red-bellied woodpecker ({M.
               Carolinus}) (see {Chab}), the superciliary woodpecker
               ({M. superciliaris}), the hairy woodpecker ({Dryobates
               villosus}), the downy woodpecker ({D. pubescens}), the
               three-toed, woodpecker ({Picoides Americanus}), the
               golden-winged woodpecker (see {Flicker}), and the sap
               suckers. See also {Carpintero}.
  
      {Woodpecker hornbill} (Zo[94]l.), a black and white Asiatic
            hornbill ({Buceros pica}) which resembles a woodpecker in
            color.
